The current ’1 Night 2 Days’ follow up program, ’1 Night 2 Days’ season 2 is starting to take form.

According to an insider in KBS, “For season 2 of ’1 Night 2 Days’, the potential program format that’s receiving the most support is keeping the current format. The name of the show ’1 Night 2 Days’ might actually be changed to something different, but the format in general will be kept the same”.

The insider continued, “There were many different opinions and ideas for season 2, but in the end it’s very hard to ignore the love and the interest of the viewers for the original format, so it looks as though they are keeping the original format”.

In the mean time, the production team for ’1 Night 2 Days’ season two are keeping their lips sealed about the details of the season 2 preparation. Actors Oh Ji Ho and Kim Sung Soo, singers Sung Shi Kyung and Yoo Hee Yeol, and actor + singer Kim Hyun Joong are currently in the talks for season 2, but none of their casting have been confirmed yet. Also, the number of cast members and which of the current members would be on season 2 has not been decided yet either.

Another KBS insider stated, “Naturally they are threading very carefully because the current ’1 Night 2 Days’ is still being aired”, and suggested a very cautious stance of the season 2 production team.

The current ’1 Night 2 Days’ program has only 3 scheduled filming remaining. The program will end on February and season 2 is expected to premier soon after.

Tak Jae Hoon did not miss out on the opportunity and asked about ’1 Night 2 Days’ and about Season 2. Uhm Tae Woong shared, “It’s just getting fun so I feel a loss (because ’1 Night 2 Days’ is ending) and because I have to part from the members.”

Tak Jae Hoon sharply asked about his plans for joining season 2 and Uhm Tae Woong made everyone laugh answering “I don’t know. Treats me well” as if he had not heard the question correctly. Tak Jae Hoon pushed on asking, “What are you answering?” and Uhm Tae Woong then said, “I have to see the situation. If Soo Geun stays, I will stay. If lee Soo Geun doesn’t do it, it won’t be fun” surprising everyone.

Joo Won is reviewing for possible appearance on season 2 follow up program of ’1 Night 2 Days’.

Joo Won’s management company Shim Entertainment representative stated on January 12th, “Joo Won has been offered to appear on the follow up program to KBS 2TV’s ‘Happy Sunday – 1 Night 2 Days’ and is reviewing it positively. Whether he will appear 100% has not been decided on.”

Whether Joo Won will appear or not is drawing a lot of attention since his sunbae at the same management company Uhm Tae Woong has been an integral part of ’1 Night 2 Days’. Joo won has been showing off great acting through ‘King of Baking, Kim Tak Goo’ in 2010, as well as on ‘Ojakgyo Brothers’ currently winning the ‘Newcomer Award’ at the ‘KBS Drama Award’ and as such, his relationship with KBS has been great so far. Joo Won is also expected to appear in ‘Gaksital’ to premier in May.

The production staff of the follow up program to ’1 Night 2 Days’ is avoiding specific comments at this time. The production staff of the follow up program to ’1 Night 2 Days’ are leaning towards following in the format of current ’1 Night 2 Days’.

Joo Won and Uhm Tae Woong have also worked together in the movie ‘Special Investigation Unit’.

’1 Night 2 Days’ is expected to continue into season 2 without Lee Seung Gi.

There are lots of questions about the future of ’1 Night 2 days’ at the moment, about the program format, the name, and the cast members. Aside from Lee Seung Gi who is expected to have his hands full with his debut in Japan, it’s expected that the rest of the members including Uhm Tae Woong, Lee Soo Geun, Eun Ji Won, and Kim Jong Min will all continue with the program.

With the changes, they are looking to find a member who will replace Lee Seung Gi. Currently in the talks are Sung Si Kyung, Kim Hyun Joong, and Joo Won.

However, there is one current member who hasn’t given a definitive answer yet. All other members have stated they would not come back for season 2 unless this member ‘x’ would also sign up, so for now the production team is keeping to themselves. An associate of member ‘x’ stated, “The odds of him signing up for season 2 is 50/50 at the moment. He’ll soon have a meeting with the production team and give them his final answer”.

They are also very careful about reporting this because Lee Seung Gi leaving the show could have the media report negatively about the situation. They will be very cautious until everything is set in place.

There are still lots of uncertainties, but the outline of the program is slowly shaping up.

Actor Kim Seung Woo along with singers Lee Juk and Sung Si Kyung are in active discussions on joining the new ’1 Night 2 Days’ cast.

Several sources inside KBS have confirmed that the three stars are currently in the talks with the ’1 Night 2 Days’ production team about the possibilities of them signing up for the second season. All parties are very positive about the outlook, so the talks are proceeding well.

Kim Seung Woo will likely take the role of the leader of the new cast. Sung Si Kyung has already been introduced to the viewers of the show through the ‘Viewers’ Special’ episode last year. Lee Juk has starred in a sitcom recently, so his variety skill should be pretty solid.

Aside from the new casts, three members out of the five current casts are also in the talks of joining the new season.

The production team stated, “We are still at the discussion phase. Nothing has been decided yet” and the potential new casts have also stated that no decision had been made yet.

However, the talks have continued for some time now and some current members have also decided on staying, so it looks as though the new plans will soon be revealed.

KBS has announced that they will not be altering the name of their popular variety program, ’1 Night 2 Days‘ (’1N2D’), for its new season.

On January 31st, a representative of KBS’s entertainment division spoke with Star News and revealed, “The follow up season to ’1N2D’ will inherit the name from its predecessor directly. What it really comes down to now is whether it will be a season two of the same show or if it will have a different theme.”

He continued, “The show will not be completely different, as it will maintain 1N2D’s original ‘on-the-road variety concept’. As such, the entertainment division felt that it wouldn’t be necessary to tack on ‘Season 2′ to the same name. We’ve mostly reached a consensus to just keep going under the same title. We don’t feel that it’s necessary to give a name change to such a popular variety show, especially when other popular variety shows put out a second season without any special changes.”

To conclude, the representative simply summarized, “The new season of ’1N2D’ is not a completely new program, so viewers can just consider it as the same show but with member changes.”

KBS hints that Lee Seung Gi and Eun Ji Won may not return for ’1N2D’ season 2

TV network KBS have started promotions for the sequel to popular variety show, ‘1 Night 2 Days’ (or ‘1N2D‘).

Recently, a KBS entertainment program brought up the show’s second season during a preview segment and left a hint as to who would not be returning.

The newscaster said, “Though Kim C, Kang Ho Dong, and even Na PD have left ‘1N2D’, there is still season two to look forward to.” She followed up by saying, “Goodbye Lee Seung Gi and Eun Ji Won.”

Though the mention was brief, fans of the show immediately began to buzz over the name-drops of Lee Seung Gi and Eun Ji Won. Many suspected that it would be these two entertainers who will be officially leaving the show.

As reported earlier, a representative from KBS said that they felt a name change for season two of ’1N2D’ would not be necessary, as the only things that would be changing are its cast members.

The last episode of ‘1N2D’ is scheduled to be filmed on February 10th, and the first episode of season two will be shot on February 24th.

With Korean entertainment forums buzzing over who will stay and who will go from the beloved cast of KBS’s ‘1 Night 2 Days‘ (‘1N2D‘), the show’s new director Choi Ja Hyung, has finally shared some new details.

On February 9th, Choi Ja Hyung revealed, “It’s true that there will be members from season 1, in addition to new members, but the cast has not yet been finalized.”

He continued, “Next week, we will confirm the members because it’s possible that there will be some last minute casting changes. I guess you’ll know at our first recording on February 24th.”

PD Choi Ja Hyung revealed that the current cast for ’1N2D – Season 2′ includes existing members Lee Soo Geun, Uhm Tae Woong, and Kim Jong Min; they will be joined by Kim Seung Woo, Joo Won, and Sung Si Kyung.

Choi Ja Hyung added, “Right now no one knows for sure if it’ll be six or seven members”.

Another official from KBS also revealed, “The basic format for ’1N2D Season 2′ will not change greatly. It plans to continue the existing format. Under the direction of Choi Ja Hyung PD, we believe that it will be even more fun [for viewers to watch]“.

The new season of ’1N2D’ will record its first episode on February 24th and will air on March 4th.

What are your thoughts on the show’s upcoming season with the current cast list?

The ‘1N2D (1 Night 2 Days)‘ staff have been working to finalize the cast for their new season, and they recently unveiled the identity of their newest ‘hidden card’ member.

The new member is none other than ‘My Sassy Girl‘ star Cha Tae Hyun.

During a phone interview with TVReport on February 14th, a Cha Tae Hyun representative remarked, “He’s just worried that he will be an inconvenience on a major television program.”

The representative continued, “He received the offer to be on the second season of ’1N2D’ approximately two weeks ago, but has only made his final decision about 2 or 3 days ago.”

Different from the way the show unveiled new members such as Kim Seung Woo, Joo Won, and singer Sung Si Kyung, ’1N2D’ released an official press release to announce that Cha Tae Hyun would be joining the lineup.

His representative continued, “It had only been 2 or 3 days since he decided to join, and although it had been a while since he received the offer, it was only right to keep quiet until everything was finalized… Even though he is worried that he may be an inconvenience on a major television program, he is determined to work hard.”

Meanwhile, the ’1N2D’ staff members stated, “The new season of ’1N2D’ which will be led by PD Choi Jae Hyung will feature members Cha Tae Hyun, Kim Seung Woo, Uhm Tae Woong, Lee Soo Geun, Sung Si Kyung, Kim Jong Min, and Joo Won. We have decided to keep the original title ’1N2D’ for the second season.”

The first filming is scheduled to take place on the 24th, and the first broadcast will air on March 4th.

Season 2, comprised of Lee Soo Geun, Kim Jong Min, Uhm Tae Woong, Kim Seung Woo, Cha Tae Hyun, Joo Won, and Sung Si Kyung, have begun filming its first episode in the early morning of February 24th. Although this is only the recording of the first episode, viewers have shown an enormous amount of interest in the filming location.

A representative of one of the new fixed members of the show stated, “He’s very nervous since this is the first recording for the new season. You can say that the filming location is comparable to 007 because even we weren’t notified of the location until it began.”

In addition, it has been revealed that all seven members have gathered a few days prior to the filming in order to get to know each other.

Meanwhile, the filming for ’1N2D’ will take place on the 24th and 25th and is scheduled to air sometime next month.

The second season of ‘1 Night 2 Days‘ started off strong. It took the top spot in viewer ratings, standing at a whopping 27.3%.

It beat both SBS‘s ’Running Man,’ which stood at 20.2%, and ‘Survival Audition: K-Pop Star,’ which stood at 18.7%.

The second season of ’1 Night 2 Days’ welcomes new members Joo Won, Cha Tae Yeon, Seung Si Kyung and Kim Seung Woo, and welcomes back the recurring cast members, Lee Soo Geun, Uhm Tae Woong and Kim Jong Min. Unfortunately, Lee Seung Gi will not be returning as a cast member for Season 2.

With the difficult decision made by Choi Jae Hyung PD to return to filming after joining the labor union strike, variety program ‘1 Night 2 Days‘ has announced the airing of new episodes in the upcoming weeks.

KBS stated through a press release on May 11th, “For two weeks, on the 13th and 20th, a ‘Special 1N2D, Investigation into Nature Project’ will be airing.”

This will be the first new episode since Choi Jae Hyung PD returned from the strike to continue on with the show after witnessing major drops in viewer ratings.

On the new episodes, the ’1N2D’ members, who haven’t seen each other for the past six weeks, will be showing us Jeju Island once more with a special feature on the dolphins that can be found near the island.
